...needle cuts 60 parallel grooves in the tape. Cellophane records are less bulky and more permanent than recordings on magnetized wire (TIME, May 17); the wire is subject to magnetic interference. Cellophane recording also seems likely to be a good deal cheaper for some time to come than light-wave recording (as in movie sound tracks), even if that process were reduced to domestic scale...

...whole image in no fewer than 240,000 separate impressions. These are recorded separately, in series, all within the space of a 30th of a second. This requires intense lighting, considerable power, and such high speed in transmission that a television broadcast must use a wide band of wave frequencies, room for which can be found only in the high-frequency wave lengths...
...Complex Wave. Craig said he had eliminated the scanning problem by means of a new device which would make it possible to record all 240,000 divisions of an image simultaneously instead of in sequence. His device consists of 240,000 electronic "pickup loops," each designed to record one division of the image. The result, he said, would be a complex wave of 240,000 elements, which could be broadcast with little power on a narrow wave band and would be unscrambled by a scanning device in the receiver. Though none of Craig's audience wholly understood his proposals...
